Clarissa and Elloma walked into the After 11 Lounge, they were looking for Chloe. Clarissa walked over to the bar, noticing Operations Officer Jayden Robertson at the bar. Sitting by himself. "Where is your boss?" Clarissa said, trying to hold back her tears, as he waited for Jayden to respond.

"Probably best we do not know, sweetie. Remember we came here to get wasted and have a good time. We should be looking for Chloe. Not Paul." Elloma said, trying to be the voice of reason. She walked over and tried to hug pull Rissie away from Jayden. She did not need to worry about Paul.

“I don’t know,” Jayden said, wondering what had this beautiful woman so upset. “If it will make you feel better, I will buy you a drink.”

"You know that sounds like a good idea." Rissie said, a little upset and wanting a drink. She started to walk back over to Jayden. "What'cha drinking handsome?" Rissie said, not sure if it was wise, to be flirting with one of Paul's crew. But at the moment she did not care.

"Were doing this?" Elloma said, as she walked over to chaperone her friend for a minute. She was going to keep Clarissa from talking about Paul. They came out to have a good night. Not a violate man bashing night.

Elloma flagged down Chloe, as she waited for Jayden to responded to Clarissa's question, about what drink she was going to have. Deep down, she was really nervous, that Clarissa was making a mistake flirting with this Jayden guy. But it was not her place to stop her friend, only warn her.

“A screwdriver,” he smiled. Standing Jayden motioned to a table.”Let’s sit over here where we can be more
Comfortable.”

Chloe appeared to be real busy at the bar, she did stop by for a moment to say hi to her friends. But she had a lot of customers in After 11.

"Thanks Chloe." Elloma said, as she watched Jayden and Clarissa go sit at another table. She watched from her barstool. This was her decision. The next move was now on Clarissa, was she was going to start a new. Jayden was cute, she kind of hope Clarissa hit on him, not use him for information.

Clarissa walked over to the table with Jayden. She took a big sip of her screwdriver. "Thank you so much." She said, as she swallowed half of the drink down, with one gulp. She smiled at him, knowing if she mentioned his boss she was going to loose it, and Elle would probably come over and stop her from nagging. She was at a loss for words. She came here to have a good night, and some how she was going to do that.

“Was there something you needed help from operations with?” Jayden asked her. “I might be able to help. I know I am not him but I am always willling to lend a hand.”

Clarissa put her left hand on his lips, to get him to shut up. "No work talk." She said, as she slammed down the rest of her drink. She was hear to have a good night. She did not want to talk to work, and deep down she did not want to talk about Paul either.

Jayden’s eyes widened as he finished off the drink he had been nursing for a while and signaled for two more. “I am fine with that Clarissa, I leave work behind me once I walk out the door.”

"Good, I prefer to be called Rissie and i'll be honest, I came here to get lit up and have fun. Your boss is dick, and that's all I want to say on that. You can either join me, or we can go our separate ways or we can party the night up. It's your call." Rissie said, waiting for his response. She did not want to waste her time, if he was not on board with the plan.

Jayden sat and digested her words for a moment. She had some problem with his boss, wanted to get drunk and have fun. What the hell he was off the next day. “Why not?” He said with a smile.

Rissie flagged down a waitress, and ordered two more shots. The mood was set, for a good night. Tonight she would party it up, tomorrow she would pay the consequence tomorrow. The waiter came back with their drinks. "To the night!" She called out. She raised her glass for a toast.

Jayden raised his glass to the toast and drank it down. He wondered for a moment what had happened but she had made it plain it wasn’t his business. He was just glad his name wasn’t Paul. “Maybe we should just get a bottle,” he suggested with a grin.

"Great idea, tonight were getting hammered." Rissie said, as she moved closer Jayden. "So handsome, tell me about you, I know you work in operations. Tell me something I do not know?" She asked him, putting her arm on his neck, and grinning really big. This time, they had ordered Tequila, she salted her hand, and put it up next to his face, with her other hand, she put the edge of the lime on her mouth. She gave him a small wink. Was he going to answer her question, or was he going to take the shot?

“I danced on bars for money,” Jayden replied with a grin. “The summer before I went to the academy.”

"Ya ya, that's great, lick the salt and take the lime." She said, in a flirtatious demanding voice. She still had the lime on her lips. She did not want him to talk the night way, well not without a few shots in him first. He she was trying to get Jayden a little drunk.

He shook his head and followed her instructions, then took a drink from the bottle. He was starting to feel the effects of the alcohol and laughed.

Rissie watched him lick the salt from her hand, his tongue felt a little warm, as he took the shot and slammed it down. Then reached over for the lime, coming within inches of her lips. She smiled at him. "Good, now the party can really start." She said, as she ordered there fourth round of drinks.

Elloma walked back over, and looked at Clarissa. "Might want to slow down sweetie." She said, being a worrisome friend. She could see that Rissie, wanted to get wasted.

“We’re having a party,” Jayden grinned at her. “For two.” He grinned as the drinks were put in front of them. He held his hand out. “Your turn to do the lock-in!” He wanted to feel her tongue against his skin.

"You better make it three. I'm still here." She said as she looked to Jayden. The boy was thinking with hormones and not thinking of the best interest of Rissie. She could not fault him. Rissie was coming on strong.

Rissie ignored Elle's comment about three. And leaned in to like his hand seductively. Then slammed down her tequila shot, as she reached in for the lime, her lips squeezed into the lime, to relieve the foul taste of tequila, then she dropped the lime, and pulled Jayden's head closer to hers, and started to caress his lips with hers.

Jayden tasted the liquor on her lips and kissed her back. He wanted to pull her on his lap and start...

Rissie started to feel him pull her towards him, and she allowed it. She crawled onto his lap and started to make out with him, at the bar. She started to grind on him a little bit. The Alcohol was taking affect. She was not trying to control her urges.

Elloma saw what was going on. She started to say, "Hey you two knock that off, this is not the place for that type of action." She said, in a stern voice. "Take that shit home, if you are going too to do that."

Rissie slammed another shot down, before looking at Jayden. "Wanna take me home." She asked hammered, and loving the buzz that she was getting, at the moment.

Jordan slammed another drink down and looked in her eyes. “Yes!” He said with a smile as he stood. “Let’s go before I can’t find my way there!”
